Tax time can be a real challenge! you've got your accountants on one end pulling atg you for your receipts and maybe a hungry mob looking for value on the table. Here's a waay to get massive flavor at a fraction of the time and cost.

We're talkin' Tax Relief Tortilla Soup. It's quick & tasty and delivers conme-back-for-more results time and again. I'll get into specifics, but keep in mind that you can make this whatever you need it to be with pretty much whatever you have on hand. You'll take 3 simple ingredients to build upon with the right seasonings and I gaurantee you'll have a new lease on life!

What I love most about this, and the majority of the dishes I create, is that measurements are optional. If you want a thinner soup you add more liquid, thicker you add less or more meat, cheese, tortillas or all of the above. It's totally up to you. Any of the variations will not only change the look and feel of the dish, but will make it appropriate for varied occasions. Here's a prime example...

Say you want the heartiness of a stew, but still want to maintain the brothiness of a soup...

What you'd do for that is increase your meat to liquid ratio. You would add more meat [tofu], giving you more substance, while allowing the broth to still remain thin enough to drink it in.

Say you want the rich thick nature of a stew that sticks to your ribs. You want to work to get your meal down and have it fill you up for hours to come...

For this scenario, you'd add less liquid to your salsa and more of the rest: meat, cheese and tortillas.

The combinations are only limited to your imagination, budget and time [if you're going for the slow cooker marathon - which is unnecessary to produce 'scrape-the-bottom-of-the-pot, finger-lickin'-good results!]. You should be able to get through this whole process in less than a half hour [closer to 15 minutes].

Trust me on this...

if you do this recipe right, you'll not only save yourself a bunch of money, time and energy, you'll also create a new favorite! [On 2nd thought... I don't know how much time, energy and money you'll save; considering all of the 'unexpected' visitors you'll have showing up at your front door for your famous Tax Relief Tortilla Soup!]
Well... at least you'll enjoy the meal [if you plate yours first]! ;~D

As always, it's my pleasure sharing these ideas with you. Until next time...
